Never forget that the only reason

nxt has a show called New Year's Evil

is because there's a day in the calendar

that is called New Year's Eve.

So someone just went, ha ha,

I know what we can do.

I love wrestling.

Also hello my friends and happy new year is probably the last time we'll say that

because it does get running to the ground but we did have one of these super

special annexes that's not quite a pay-per-view premium live event, but they still try and go big time.

So was any good or did it absolutely suck?

Well, I don't know.

You don't know.

The only thing that knows is the finger of power.

And if you think that's dumb, welcome to life. Let's up those doubts.

We make sure we kick things off with a bang too, because it was Lyra of Alkiria defending her

NXT women's title against Blair Damaport.

No need for the trumpet. I mean we literally knew this.

Now given that Blair Kitty has an upcoming few of the key lines it felt like a long shot

that Lyle was going to lose her championship here, but I tell you how they got around this.

Can you backstage?

They have gone.
